DUI/DWI offenders in Lake City, IA. are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab program instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, including incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lake City, IA. that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious penalties, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
